in FavoritesThe Chessmasters: My Favorite Chess Centric TV Episodes and Storylines
There are few clearer cinematic shorthands than using the game of chess to signify intelligence with a bit of sinister manipulation thrown in as well. The Chessmaster is a genius manipulator, controlling the other characters and the action while still being removed from it. Chess is central to this idea because even to the viewer […] More

Favorite Teen Heartthrob Hairdos of Yesteryear
Being a kid in the 1990s was a unique experience. No Twitter. No Facebook. I wasn’t walking around with a tiny computer in my pocket—an endless stream of knowledge and pointless distraction at my fingertips. My connection to the outside world was reliant on three things: my parents, my friends, and that beautiful box in […] More

Top 10 Albums of 2022
Insofar as my musical experiences of the last 12 months will be remembered, 2022 was the year that artists I’d been trying to get into finally clicked. Artists like The Weeknd, Earl Sweatshirt and FKA Twigs took the first months of the year to take the reins and each released their best works. They were […] More

Top 10 Songs of 2022
Following up my top 10 albums of the year list, it’s perhaps easier to single out the best individual songs of the year, as one doesn’t have to weigh entire tracklists against each other. Each of the songs on this list had just a few minutes to, in a single stroke, explore the emotions and […] More

This is for Chrissy: Favorite Moments from Stranger Things Season 4
The following contains spoilers for all of Stranger Things Season 4. Netflix’s model makes writing consistently on their shows difficult for those of us who don’t seem to have the time to binge multiple episodes of a series all at once. For Stranger Things Season 4 they did, thankfully, tweak the model by releasing the […] More

Let Your Body Move To The Music: Favourite Songs Of Pose
Pose is one of a kind: joyful, tragic, gorgeous, and queer. I can honestly say that no other TV show has moved me to tears so frequently. Transgender representation on TV is pretty thin on the ground (even as gay and bisexual representation is on the rise) but here is a show that celebrates the […] More

Rachel Bloom Steals the Show in these Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Favourites!
A while back I shared my favourite Crazy Ex-Girlfriend songs that didn’t feature Rachel Bloom. Every song in the show is perfection, but there are some that speak to me and get under my skin and I never stop singing them! Today I wanted to put Rebecca Bunch and her incredible talent in the spotlight […] More

BoJack Horseman’s Top 10 Worst Moments!
Content Warning: “BoJack Horseman’s Top 10 Worst Moments!” references addiction, sexual assault, and violence against women. BoJack Horseman is my favorite TV show. The six-season absurdist animated dark comedy has some of the most nuanced portrayals of mental illness, feminism, fame, and generational trauma on television…and also stars a talking alcoholic horse. BoJack Horseman (Will […] More

South Park Favourite Episodes: The Hunting of the Snark
I don’t know about you, but I’m at that point in the pandemic where my brain is fed up with all the comfort TV I have been feeding it in an attempt to soothe it. What my pandemic brain wants now is snark. No, I don’t mean Lewis Carroll’s wacky mythical creature—I want irreverent, cutting […] More

Wait, Did They Just… Five Favorite Buffy the Vampire Slayer References in Other Media
There are few shows out there that have become icons long after they have ended. Every generation seems to have at least one that they continue to talk about, write about, and in some cases sneak little homages to in their own work. I Love Lucy, ER, Xena: Warrior Princess, and Game of Thrones are […] More

“Home, Sweet, Home”: Best Buffy Character Entrances
There is an abundance of compelling characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer; that’s simply common knowledge. From sarcastic librarians to punk vampires (who are equally loveable), Buffy’s got it all. Naturally, the coolest characters must have the coolest introductions, and there are a good number of those across the show as well. So here are […] More
